| Summary: | "The rituals you see enacted in the temples, such as Tanjore, were already being performed when the temples of ancient Greece and Rome where still in use; yet, while the Gods of Thebes and Parthenon have long been dead and forgotten for millennia, the Gods and temples of Hindu India are still as alive and active as ever. For Hindu civilization is the only great classical culture to survive from the ancient world intact and at temples, such as Tanjore, one can still catch glimpse of festivals seen by Greek or Egyptian ambassadors to India long before the rise of Rome." |
